JW references in movies
by stichione ini watched the movie "mickey blue eyes" last night on tv, staring hugh grant.
at one point there is a knock at the door and mickey, looking through the peep hole, anounces "its the jehovah bloody witnesses".
there was more insitent knocking and the female occupant replies "they must be really devoted!".

I donated blood today at a local blood drive and...
by stichione in...i feel great!
i have been a jw almost all my life, and at a little over 40 years old, for the first time i donated half a litre of whole blood, and i am told it can be used to save 4 people!
i can't tell you how terrified i was to be spotted by a jw, although they would also have had a hard time explaining their presence at the clinic.

WTS retirement plan
by stichione inas a building inspector in a large city, i also come across inspecting nun's retirement homes.
in fact, working on a special project recently i visited 10 buildings housing anywhere from 60 to 500 nuns each.
i was struck by how well these nuns are taken care of by the catholic church.
